HUSTON, Nineteenth Infantry, escapes with a repri- mand from General Hughes for not having exerted himself to- ward stopping the riot at the gates of | the Presidio on September 15, when two | szloons were demolished by a mob of angry soldiers. The court-martial by | which the accused officer was trled re- |turned a verdict of guilty and recom- (merded that the punishment be a repri- | mand by the reviewing authority. The findings and sentence are approv- |ed with minor exceptions. Lieutenant | Colonel Huston is released from arrest | and restored to duty. A black mark will ;t»( placed against his hitherto excellent |record and the incident will then be | cicted. The charges were neglect of duty and conduct to the prejudice of good or- der and military discipline. Each was at- | tended by an explanatory specification. The offénses passed upon by the court | were first, that the officer did nothing to | prevent the continuance of the riot when he was aware that it was in progress, and secondly, that the orders issued to Lieu- tenant Feeter, officer of the day, were not preper under the circumstances. The sentence was as follows: ‘“To be reprimanded by the reviewing authority. The court is thus lenient on account of the evident opinion held by the accused that ke was acting within the provisions of the law.” General Hughes' indorse- n-ent, which was forwarded to Judge ‘Ad- vocate Hull yesterday, is as follows: | In the foregoing case of Lieutenant Colonel Joseph F. Huston, Nineteenth Infantry, the proceedings are approved. The findings of the first charge and snecification are approved. The findings to the specification. of the second charge zre approved, except in so much as re- lates to the phrase “‘and not to take any fur- ther steps in reference ¢o the disorder then | proceedinz.” The evidence on the, part of the prosecution rel'funx to this phrase is clear and positive, while there is no evidence produced by the defense to contradict it. The reviewing au- thority is of the opinion that the finding of | mot guilty in this phrase was erroneous. The finding of the court on the second | eharge is approved. ce is approved and confirmed. } o%w«mw“h—%ww. ‘engineerlng. electrical engineering, agri- | culture, finance and the Spanish language | at salarfes of $1200 to $1400 per annum. | Since the last eramination was held ap- | pointments have been tendered to sixty- | three eligibles on the register established |as a result of that examination. | Draughtsman (male), engineer depart- ment at large, salary $1400 per annum.

AND COMMANDER WHO AP- PROVED COURT'S FINDINGS. % i In executing the duty assigned to him it is | thought by the reviewing authority that it is | only necessary to invite the attention of the accused .to. the reasons given by the court for the leniency of the sentence. | It seems to be almost incredible that an officer of IJleutenant Colonel Huston's ad- vantages should believe that the law was such that he must permit a riotous assemblage of soldiers to commit an aggravated breach ot the peace and continue its-criminal course for from one to two kours along but outside the boundary of his camp, in the immediate vicin- ity and in plain hearing of his tent, where he ‘was, without the right of initiating any steps to_suppress such riotous assemblage. But the court having found that the ac- cused evidently held that he was ‘‘acting with- in the provisicns of the law,’”’ the reviewing authority limits himself to stating that under the conditions as are shown to have existed in this ease any officer failing or neglecting to take all possible measures to suppress such riotous conduct and to bring the offenders to order does not execute his paramount duty. His authority to do so is not disturbed by any Hnes of limitation. Lieutenant Colonel Huston is released from arrest and will report for duty. GIVES ORGAN RECITAL TO BIG CONGREGATION Louis H. Eaton and Choir Render Beautiful Musical Programme at Trinity Church, Trinity Episcopal Church was erowded last evening when Louis H. Eaton gave his ninth organ- recital, assisted by the chair. The numbers selected by Mr. Eaton were of the highest quality of music and probably Trinity’s organ has never been heard to better advantage than at this particular recital. Johann Sebastian Bach's remarkable prelude and fugue in E flat (St. Ann's) were performed with excellent judgment, and Caesar Franck's pastoral in E major received the most delicate treatment. The adagio cantabile, from symphonie in G minor, written by Edwin H. Lemare, or- ganist of St. Margaret's, Westminster, Lon- don, gave the organist the opportunity of proving his undoubted ability. There were several other admirably executed num- bers. The choir was heard in Gounod’s masterful work, “The Redemption,” Miss Millie Flynn singing the soprano solo in “From Thy Love as a Father,” in which she took the high C without an effort. The choir also sang Gounod’s other beau- tiful inspiration, “O, Day of Penitence." Next Sunday evening there will be a mu- sical service at Trinity Church, e S Mabel Edison Finds a Friend. Mabel Edison, the girl who was arrest- ed Wednesday afternoon for masquerad- ing in boy's attire as Theo H. Hoffmann, has found a friend in Miss Katharine C. Felton of the Associated Charities. Chle\ Wittman detailed Officer McMurray of the California Society for the Preven- tior. of Cruelty to Children on the case yesterday, telling him that he did not want the girl to have the stigma of be- ing charged with an offense, and McMur- ray laid the case before Miss Felton. She | her ‘return. SH1S SHE NEVER (1SSED PAINCE Mrs. Keener Denies the Charges Made by Husband. Files a Cross-Complaint Ac- cusing Him of Being Cruel. If E. Kirby Keener gets a divorce from Raphaeclla A. Keener it will not be with- out vigorous opposition on the part of the lady. She is very willing that the bonds of matrimony ‘uniting them be dissolved, but she wants the decree, and in addition $50 monthly alimony. Since the filing by Keener several months ago of a complaint in divorce in which he charges his wife with sitting upon the lap of Prince Zabowski and toy- ing with that gentleman’s mustache, Mrs. Keener has rested under the imputation that she had misbehaved herself without making any defense. Yesterday, however, like the worm, she turned and filed a few charges herself, in which she seeks to maki ear that Keener is the party at t:u;: fac;‘:‘p‘.nelr married infelicities. The charges are made in an answer and cross- cemplaint, in ‘which she denies being gullty of disarranging the curl of any princely whisker, or of so comporting her- self that the crease of princely trousers would be disturbed. She denies also that she misbehaved herself in the company of Al Dodge, the advertising agent, whom Keener accused her of caressing, also. By way of cross-complaint Mrs. Keen- or olleges that Keener, notwithstanding that he claims in his complaint to possess a refined and sensitive nature, *is of a gross and brutal makeup.” For two years, she alleges, he has.treated her in a cruel and inhuman manner, going so far on one occasion, she alleges, as to grasp her by the throat with such vigor that her fair neck bore the imprint of his tingers for seven days. On another occasion, she alleges, while they were in Los Angeles, her husband “’shook her into nervous proStration.” Mrs. Keener alleges further that while they were living at the Hotel Waldemar Keener knocked her head against the wall of their room, thereby causing her great humiliation, pain and mental suffer- irg. . Mrs. Keener charges further that while they were residing at the Hotel Lans- downe her hushand gave her a severe beating. She alleges that they were in bed at the time and that when she screamed he said to her, “What's the matter, dear?’ hoping thereby, alleges Mrs. Keener, to give her the impression that he had struck her while he was asleep. At the breakfast table the next morning, charges Mrs. Keener, her hus- band told the guests of the hotel, as a funny story, that while suffering from nightmare he had struck his wife. Keener is a salesman in the employ of Pierce & Co., and receives, his wife al- leges, a salary of $200 a month. ‘When Agnes R. Grant, wife of Georgé 8. Grant, at one time an’employe of the Southern Pacific Company,. kissed him | good-by in August of last year and start- ed on a short trip to San Diego she little dreamed that when she returned she would learn of certain actions on the part of " her husband:that would cause her to think her pleasant relations with her spouse would vanish as a fleeting dream. Tkat such was the fact is shown by the suit for divorce filed by Mrs. Grant upon The case was heard yester- day by'Judge Graham, who granted Mrs. Grant a divorce on testimony furnished by her mother, Mrs. Helen Northrup. of 622 Post street, and Herbert M. Fortesque, her brother-in-law, who is cashler of Cog- hill & Kohn, the wholesale grocers. It appears from their testimony that the very night of Mrs. Grant's departure Ler husband installed another woman in her place, bringing her to the home of his mother-in-law, where he had resided with his wife. The discovery was made by Mrs. Northrup, who summoned For- tesque and told him of the presence of the strange female. Fortesque went to Grant's apartments and demanded to know if such was the fact and was promptly told, he said yesterday, to mind his own business. That Mrs. Northrup and Fortesque be- lieved that in watching Grant they were attending to their own business was shown by theif testimony. They both tes- tified that they installed themselves in front of Grant's door and kept vigil for more than an hour, receiving as their re- ward a glimpse of the latter as he at- tempted to leave his room with his com- panion. Louis Arzner, proprietor of the Ferry Cafe, 16 Market street, was granted a divorce from Jeanet Arzner by Judge Gra- ham yesterday. The suit was brought by Mrs. Arzner on the ground of cruelty, Arzner filing a cross-complaint, in which he alleged desertion. He was alsoaward- ed the custody of the minor children. In a complaint for divorce filed yester- day by Anna Neumann against Adam Neumann, the charge is made that Neu- mann bas on many occasions since their marriage at San Rafael in 1883 cruelly beaten, cursed and otherwise abused his wife. She asks for a divorce and a share of the community property, consisting of six houses south of Market street, esti- mzted to be worth $30,000. Suits for divorce . were also filed by Minnie Ferris against George Ferris for desertion, Emma Donnelly against George Tonnelly for convietion of felony, Mar- garet J. Funke against Charles C. Funke for desertion, Robert T. Gamble against Rose Gamble for infidelity, Louise Cole- son against W. H. Coleson for intemper- arce 'and 'Mary Buhlert .against Jean EBuhlert for neglect. A divorce was also granted to J. B. Turner from Fannfe Turner for desertion. called at the City Prison yesterday after- noon and told the girl that she would find a comfortable home for her and would bring her suitable raiment this morning. ————— Broke His Wife’s Arm.

She allleges that while Nyberg was un- liant list ind Let us der the influence of liquor Wednesday night he attacked her and broke her arm. He had been arrested some months ago on a similar charge, but at that time she did not prosecute him. PRAGERS 75¢c and $1.00 Neckwear of a kind left.

Stoll Must Remain in the City Prisen. . Dr. Benjamin F. Stoll appeared before Judge Mogan yesterday and was instruct- ed and arraigned on.a charge of murder for the killing of Dr. Robert J. Blake, ‘his assistant in the office of Decker & Stoll, Phelan building, fon October 16. Dr. Stoll was represented by Attorneys Hi- ram Johnston and John A. Hosmer. The defendant is showing plainly the effect of the mental strain he is undergo- ing and the close confinement in the City Prison. The defendant’'s wife was in the courtroom with some friends. Attorney Johnston demanded an immedi- ate hearing, but Assistant District At- torney Harris asked for a continuance to enable him to see the witnesses. This was opposed by Johnston tinless the .de- fendant be admitted to bail. He said the Coroner’s jury, after hearing all the evi- dence, had brought in a verdict that Dr. Stoll had probably acted in self-defense | and that should influence the court in re- gard to the question of bail. The Judge said he had nothing to do with the -verdict of the Coroner's . jury. A person was before him charged with murder and he had no officlal knowledge of the facts of the case. Therefore he could not entertain an application for bail. He asked Assistant District Attor- ney Harris if he could not examine some of the witnesses so as to get along with the hearing, but Harris demurred and in- sisted upon a contihuance. After consulting with Attorney Hos- mer Attorney Johnston consented to the -continuance and the Judge thereupon set the case for hearing on Monday morning at 10:45 o’clock. FORGETS SHE 15 NOT HIS WIFE Mrs. Elizabeth Alsteed Makes an Odd Blunder. Mrs. Gustave Alsteed, who lives at 51 East Park street, Bernal Heights, can claim the female record for forgetfulness. Mrs. Alsteed filed a suit for divorce from her husband on October 19, and it was not until yesterday that the fact that her husband had secured a divorce from her on January 29 ¢f ‘this year was brought back to her memory, even though that particular day marked a traglic incident in both their lives. Alsteed Is the man who shot,and killed Thomas Normile on Bernal Helghts for participating in a drunken orgle with the woman he had divorced that day. Ever since Alsteed got out of his trouble he and the woman from whom he secured the divorce have been living in the same house. Their troubles increased and Mrs. Al- steed thought it was necessary and about time that she secured a dlvorce. So she consulted a firm of attorneys and entered suit for divorce on the ground of cruelty. The story was published in the papers on October 19 and it came to the notice of Alsteed, who grew wrathy. He must have brought the fact that he had already se- cured a divorce very foreibly to her mind, tor Alsteed visited The Call office armed with a sigmed statement from his ex- wife, in which she admitted that she was not his wife. In the meantime Mrs. Alsteed's suit is pending in the Superior Court and as the couple have never been remarried since they were divorced by Judge Kerrigan the suit probably will be stricken from the calendar. —_————— A ‘man who frankly admits that he is prejudiced never really belleves it. of them are of the very highest throughout the world by reason ties, 5 Read the. list and then come to us for terms— terms so liberal that you cannot fail to approve of them.
